Remote Start
This feature starts the heating or air
conditioning systems and rear
window defogger from outside the
vehicle. Use remote start to heat or
cool the interior when the vehicle is
plugged in to maximize the electric
range by utilizing electricity from the
electrical outlet. Normal operation of
the system will return after the
vehicle has been turned on.
B(Remote Start): This button is
on the RKE transmitter.
During remote start:
.The climate control system will
typically default to the last
climate setting. If the fan is off or
if Fan Only was selected, the air
conditioning or heat will turn on as needed. See
Automatic
Climate Control System on
page 8-1.
.If the vehicle has heated seats,
and this feature has been
enabled through vehicle
personalization, the heated
seats will turn on during colder
outside temperatures. See
“Remote Start Heated Seats”
under Heated Front Seats on
page 3-5 and“Remote Start
Auto Heated Seats” under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-54.
.The rear defogger will turn on
during colder outside
temperatures.
.Selecting1during colder
outside temperatures before
shutting the vehicle off will help
windshield clearing.
.Shutting the vehicle off in ECO
Mode without

minimize the impact to electric range. Shutting the vehicle off in
other modes will maximize
heating or air conditioning.
.The engine may start to provide
energy for heating and cooling,
independent of the vehicle being
plugged in or completely
charged. Engine Assisted
Heating operation, if available,
can be personalized. See
“Engine Assisted Heating”
under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-54.
.Vehicle range may decrease if
the vehicle is not plugged into
an electrical outlet. If the vehicle
is plugged in, much of the
energy needed to support this
feature will be provided from the
electrical outlet, not from the
high voltage battery.
Laws in some communities may
restrict the use of features that
remotely start the engine. For
example, some laws may require a
person using the remote start
feature to have the vehicle in view
